Parametrized Braid Groups of Chevalley Groups

چکیده
We introduce the notion of a braid group parametrized by a ring, which is defined by generators and relations and based on the geometric idea of painted braids. We show that the parametrized braid group is isomorphic to the semi-direct product of the Steinberg group (of the ring) with the classical braid group. The technical heart of the proof is the Pure Braid Lemma 2.1.1, which asserts that certain elements of the parametrized braid group commute with the pure braid group. More generally, we define, for any crystallographic root system, a braid group and a parametrized braid group with parameters in a commutative ring. The parametrized braid group is expected to be isomorphic to the semi-direct product of the corresponding Steinberg group with the braid group. The first part of the paper (described above) treats the case of the root system An; in the second part, we handle the root system Dn. Other cases will be treated in the sequel [L-S2].

Total Positivity for Loop Groups Ii: Chevalley Generators
This is the second in a series of papers developing a theory of total positivity for loop groups. In this paper, we study infinite products of Chevalley generators. We show that the combinatorics of infinite reduced words underlies the theory, and develop the formalism of infinite sequences of braid moves, called a braid limit. We relate this to a partial order, called the limit weak order, on ...

متن کاملIrreducibility of the tensor product of Albeverio's representations of the Braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$
We consider Albeverio's linear representations of the braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$. We specialize the indeterminates used in defining these representations to non zero complex numbers. We then consider the tensor products of the representations of $B_3$ and the tensor products of those of $B_4$. We then determine necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the irreducibility of th...

Since its introduction (for reviews see e.g. [1]), the parametrized Yang-Baxter equation (YBE) has played a crucial role in nonlinear integrable systems in physics, such as exactly solvable statistical mechanics models and lowdimensional integrable field theories. Its constant form has also appeared in knot theory, where it is connected with braid groups. In addition, the YBE has inspired the d...
متن کاملFundamental Groups of Complements of Branch Curves as Solvable Groups
In this paper we show that fundamental groups of complements of curves are “small” in the sense that they are “almost solvable”. Thus we can start to compute π2 as a module over π1 in order to produce new invariants of surfaces that might distinguish different components of a moduli space. 0. Applications of the calculations of fundamental groups to algebraic surfaces. Our study of fundamental ...
